Blogging Matters!!! : 'My 5ive' - 5 Things To Know About Sports Betting

Day 46.

Betting : 'the action of gambling money on the outcome of a race, game or other unpredictable event.' - Oxford Dictionary.
Yes, ladies and gents of Readerland, tonight's blog will revolve around the concept of betting in sports. I'll be only giving you a laconic introduction to this concept, as I'll do a detailed deliberation in the upcoming blogs. Since we are dealing with sports betting, let's try and grasp the meaning of it.

1. When you do predictions in the results of any sport, you predict the result of sporting events, like who will emerge victorious ?, what will be the ranking of a player?, or even the precise result. That's when you are doing sports betting.
2. Now, once you are riveted in the first aspect and you take the second step, then you're totally engrossed in this concept. And, the second step being, placing a wager/money on the result of a particular sporting event.
3. Another interesting aspect of sports betting is that the people riveted in it don't have their control or regulations on the objects of a game. So, if there is a soccer match to happen, then sport betters cannot influence the kick-off or other facets of the game being played.
4. From the betting that an individual does with his neighbour on their favourite Cricket team to the betting performed on a large-scale, all of them involve a process. However, large-scale betting requires a gamester or bookie to perform the tasks. Moreover, betting can be of different types, like - Proposition bets - predicting the number of wickets a bowler will take in a cricket match, Second-half bets - placing wager only in halftime of a match.
5. Some infamous scandals in history will always be recalled when anyone is taking up this subject for discussion. In the phase of amateur sports, the biggest scandal to hit the sporting world, and particularly to U.S., was the indictment of Chicago White Sox baseball team. Eight players were paid about $10k by a gambler, by the name of Joseph Sullivan. This incident is recorded in the history books as perhaps the biggest sporting scandal ever.

Alright then. That was for you tonight's 'My 5ive' about betting in sports. Like I said earlier that I'll take up this subject in the upcoming blogs and would acquaint y'all to the other facets of this concept.So, keep checking, do your posting and thanks for reading.
